2019 Six Pick Week 11: 0-0

Welcome back to Six Pick - The only column on this site written by NerdMagic. Very exclusive. Let's dive in. No stats this week, will be back next week.

Iowa
@ Wisconsin (-8.5)

Nerd Fact 1: More than 97% of Iowa's farms are owned by farm families.Nerd Fact 2: Wisconsin produces over 2.5 billion tons of cheese a year.

Pick: Give me Iowa. Don't know if I like them to win outright, but they could keep it close.

LSU
@ Bama (-6.5)

Nerd Fact 1: Tigers live between 20-26 years in the wild.Nerd Fact 2: Elephants are not very good at painting.

Pick: Yikes. I have no clue but my family will kill me if I don't pick LSU.

Penn State(-6.5)
@ Minnesota

Nerd Fact 1: If confronted by a mountain lion, don't run away. This may trigger an attack.Nerd Fact 2: When you say gopher, you are probably referring to pocket gophers. I don't know the difference but that's what google says.

Pick: I'm picking the Gophers just because I want to see Penn State lose.

Notre Dame (-7)
@ Duke

Nerd Fact 1: According to google, there are no female leprechauns.Nerd Fact 2: Tasmanian Devils are the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world.

Pick:Irish bounce back from a maroon and orange scare and smack the Blue Devils.

I'd have taken VT (-2.5), but since we're not do an actual line here, you force me to pick against the Hokies for the first time all year.

Iowa: Meh.
Bama: Like Lebron when he was in the East, or Tech v. UVA in football...until proven otherwise, don't bet against them.
PSU: Because I know nothing about Minnesota other than they're pretty decent.
ND: Meh.
Louisville: Fuck Miami and Louisville is heading in the right direction.
Wake: Tech doesn't cover a -8.5.

NC state is awful this year. Wake should have blown out the other awful teams they snuck by as well. The only question is: are we as awful as the Atlantic division scrubs or can we pull one out here?

Iowa @ Wisconsin (-8.5): I might not take the OVER at 8.5. Certainly not gonna take a spread that large.LSU @ Bama (-6.5): DACOACHOGONNAWINDAWHOLEDANGTHINGDISYEAR!Penn State(-6.5) @ Minnesota: Fun fact: Minny has played something like 10 quarters against a first-string QB this year.Notre Dame (-7) @ Duke: If nothing else, I want this to make our close loss to ND look better.
Louisville @ Miami (-5.5): Both these teams suck out loud. Do I have to pick one? #goaccWake Forest @ Virginia Tech (-8.5): Wake is pretty decent this year. I'll be happy with a 7-point win.

Iowa
LSU
Minnesota
ND
Louisville
H O K I E S: sold out Lane Stadium, coming off a close loss to ND, a game honoring the one and only Bud Foster. I think the boys play lights out in this one and prove themselves against a (maybe overrated) top 25 team in a shootout.
